POLITICIANS ARE
STILL USING TAFT,
GOV. COX SAYS
PHOENIX. Ariz., Sept. 23.—-A
Statement declaring that former
President Taft should be “ashamed
of himself’’ for his statement re
garding use of militia in Ohio dur
ing the Cox administration was is
sued here by Governor Cox, Demo
cratic nominee, during his Arizona
campaign.
Commenting on Mr. Taft's recent
article which said that Governor
Cox’s “indisposition to maintain or
der by use of the militia is well
known to local union leaders and ex
plains his popularity with them,’’
Governor Cox made the following
•tatement:
“It has been apparent for some
time that Judge Taft’s newspaper ar
ticles, which were intended to be the
reflections of a mature statesman,
have been turned into a cheap po
litical propaganda. He ought to be
ashamed of himself for the state
ment that law and order have not
been maintained in Ohicfc I would
like to have him tell me the instance
in which he would have used troops
•Where I did not.
“I challenge him to cite the opin
ion of a single member of the su
preme court of Ohio, no matter what
his politics might be, in support of
his absurd accusation. I have no ob
jection to Judge Taft becoming a
water carrier around the old guard
political camp. A great many people,
however, in our state, who have re
spected him throughout the years,
cannot but look with regret upon the
ease with which reactionary politi
cians still make use of him.’’
Application of the League of Na
tions argument to western problems
was stressed by Governor Cox in ad
dresses at Mesa and Temple.
Governor Cox promised that when
elected he would send a corps of
engineers into tne west to locate new
reclamation projects. He declared
he favored the Smith-Fletcher bill
for completing reclamation enter
prises. The governor urged that Sen
ators Marcus A. Smith and Henry F.
Ashurst, Democrats, of Arizona, be
returned to the senate.
Hun Burglars Rob
American in Berlin
BERLIN. —Expert thieves early
this morning raided the suite of
rooms at the Hotel Adlon occupied
by Walter Brown, European organiz
er of the American Relief commis
sion warehouses founded by Herbert
Hoover. Mrs. Brown and their ten
year-old daughter were in the suite
at the time of the robbery.
Among the articles stolen was a
pearl necklace valued at $1,600. The
cchld saw one of the thieves search
ing her room, but she was only half
awake, the room was dark, and she
thought the man was her father.
The rooms occupied by General
Bingham, British member of the al
lied military mission, also we’re
raided. A revolver and some cigars
and cigarettes were stolen.
Investigation of the robberies has
been intrusted to some of Berlin's
most famous detectives. Brown ar
rived here early this week to attend
a conference of members of the re
lief commission.

“Dog of the Desert” Retires
After Saving 33 Lives
A dog has the record of saving
thirty-three human lives by his un
aided efforts; he is Rufus, the dog
of the desert. The wonderful dog
is now at a small animal sanitarium
in the country a little way out
from Pasadona, Cal.
Here at the age of seventeen
years, twelve of which were spent
in the saving of human life on the
scorched sands of southern Cali
fornia and Arizona deserts, and
now almost blind and deaf, this
most faithful friend of mankind is
spending his declining years sur
rounded by all the care and com
forts that science and kind hands
can give.
He is a medium-sized dog with a
reddish coat of hair, rather long
and inclined to curl; he has a sober
and very earnest expression and a
very kind disposition. His attempts
in his present condition to play with
and respond to "the small children
who visit the sanatorium, with
whom he is a great favorite, are
touching.
He was bqFn in Nome, Alaska,
and was picked up there when a
puppy by L. W. Beck, of Pasadena.
For twelve years the man and dog
were constant companions on the
desert, daily excursions out on tne
waste of sands in search of lost hu
mans. During that time both are
accredited with having saved the
lives of 300 persons.
On these trips the dog wore leath
er boots made especially for him to
protect the soles of his feet from
the hot sand, the rough stones and
cactus thorns. He carried a forty
pound pack strapped to his back
when on these trips the entire
twelve years of his work daily. In
the pack was a flask of water and
food.
Carrying this back he would
make wide detours and on finding
any one in distress would arouse'
them by tugging- at their clothing,
barking, or by licking their hands
and face, when the distressed person
would then partake of the water
and food,
Rufus would then keep watch near
by, barkino- loudly until his master
came, who carried poison bite anti
dotes and restoratives, for many
who were found had been bitten by
poisonous reptiles.
Burglar Gets Loot
Os $2,000, but Says
Victim Is a “Piker”
NEW TRIBUNE—A burglar who
combines a sense of humor with his
safe-breaking proclivities jimmied
his way into the office of Henry
Brady, real estate and insurance
broker, at 139 West Thirty-third
street, Thursday night or early Fri
day. In return for $2,000 cash, some
securities and two gold watches, he
left Mr. Brady a note calling him a
"piker” for leaving such ! a small
sum in his office and advising him to
get a "decent” safe.
The burglary was discovered about
5:30 o’clock Friday morning by a
woman who was cleaning the office.
She found the broken safe door ajar
and notified the police. Mr. Brady
gave an account of the robbery to
The Tribune yesterday.
Entering the three-story remodel
ed house by the roof door, which was
locked and had to be pried open, the
burglar made his way to the office
on the ground floor. Using a brace
and bit and “can onener,” he opened
the safe and took the contents to a
vacant room on the top floor. Numer
ous discarded cigarette stubs indi
cated that he went about his task in
a leisurely manner.
“Why don’t you pay an extra dol
lar and get a decent -safe?” the note
to Mr. Brady asked. "If you are
going to repair this one, or buy one
like it. I would advise you to leave
it open and save me about ten min
utes time and also save you money.
I think a real estate man of your
standing to have only about $2,000
in the safe is a piker and I will not
bother you again unless I am sure
you have more.
“If I have any success the next
couple I blow I may send you back
part of what I took, as I need the
money at present.
“If you find cut the brand of
cigarettes you probably will know
Who I am.”
The note carried no signature. The
cigarette butts the burglar had
strewn about him indicated that he
smoked several different brands.
Mr. Brady said the thief showed
familiarity with the real estate busi
ness in taking certain papers and
leaving others. He thinks the man
makes a specialty of robbing real
estate offices. The police have some
finger print clews.
Valuable Secrets
From Stone Mountain
STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga„ Sept. 23.
Here are two valuable secrets that
have just been divulged in Stone
Mountain: T. K. Warren, merchant,
says there will be frost in the next
five days, and it is sure to come
because a katydid, a bird of common
knowledge, just eighty-five days ago
sat on a bush and sang, and when
a katydid sings, nienty days there
after there will be frost. So pre
pare.
The next secret is from an un
known mechanic that was leisurely
traveling through the city. Take a
common old brick or bricks, of low
order, put them in a barrel of crude
oil ana let 'em soak for about a
week. Then take them out, place
them in the grate and you have
solved the coal question. This gen
tleman of mechanical inclinations al
leges that those oil-soaked bricks
will furnish more heat than coal
and burn indefinitely. So, there you
are, a tip and gift from Stone Moun
tain freely given.
Thirsty Jail Birds
Run Prison Still
HENDERSON, Ky.—Jailer Rod
Davis found a moonshine still in
the jail today being operated by
seven white prisoners.
The still was made from a coal
oil can with a smaller can under
to hold fire. The men had dis
tilled more than a pint of "white
mule” from sour cornbread.
For a syphon they had torn up
a new disinfectant spray and in
serted it in the top of the coal
oil can to allow the “juice” to run
into a tin can.
Fire was made from torn-up
blankets and it was the rag
smoke that led to the discovery.
For several days the prisoners
complained they were not getting
enough cornbread and extra sup
plies had been furnished them.
MANY INQUIRIES
RECEIVED FOR
GEORGIA FARMS
The work of the “Advertise Geor
gia Enterprise” already has resulted
in bringing many inquiries as to
farm lands‘-for sale in Georgia, al
though the campaign still is In its
preliminary stages, it was announc
ed Thursday by officials of the en
terprise.
Georgia is receiving considerable
free advertising, throughout the na
tion because it is the first state to
undertake an advertising campaign,
officials said. They called attention
to the fact that a number of lead
ing newspapers and magazines have
made editorial comments on the en
terprise.
J. Kelly Simmons, president of
the Georgia Press association, who
has just returned from a months’
stay in southern California, has told
officials of the “Advertise Georgia”
movement that the reason California
gained 44.1 per cent in population
in the last ten years, while ‘Georgia
gained less than 11 per cent is due
principally to the fact that aClifor
nia advertised while Georgia didn’t.
“There is no reason why Georgia,
once her advantages are ' shown to
the people of the United States,
cannot bring new residents to culti
vate her idle farms and develop tne
enormous acreage of waste land,”
said Mr. Simmons. “She has every
thing to offer that California has,
and many features which California
has not.
“The great importance to the state
of the Advertise Georgia Enterprise,
in my opinion, lies in the fact that
it will be principally directed at
bringing new farmers rather than
new citizens for the towns and
cities. It will go a long way toward
counteracting the disproportionate
growth of the cities, which have
gained at the expense of the farm
ing sections. Some of Georgia’s ru
ral counties have actually shown a
heavy loss in population in the last
ten years. This has reduced farm
production, at a time wnen greater
production was needed. The pros
perity of the state and of the coun
try depends upon a large and pros
perous farming peculation.”
Airplane Proves Handy
In Doing Chores
On Big Texas Ranch
When Bob Slaughter, owner of the
Lazy S ranch in Texas, arose the
other morning, he was informed by
his son, R. L. Slaughter, that the
cook was A. W. O. L., and that
breakfast was not in sight.
“Oh, that’s all right,” the elder
Slaughter assured him, “get out your
airplane and we will go to Lubbuck
for breakfast.”
The start was immediately made
and forty minutes later the airplane
was barked in the town and the two
men were dining comfortably in a
hotel. They had made the trip of
fifty-seven miles from the ranch to
Lubbuck at more than a mile-a-min
ute speed. The son piloted the ma
chine. He was in the air service
during the war.
The stunt of flying fifty-seven
miles to breakfast is nothing unusual
for the Slaughters. The Lazy S ranch
embraces 250,000 acres in a solid
tract. Bob Slaughter owns four
other large ranches in west Texas
and New Mexico. He and his spn
use the airplane constantly in visit
ing the different properties. It is
500 miles from tire nearest ranch to
Dallas, where Mr. Slaughter main
tains his principal business office,
very few days he and his son jump
off on a voyage to Dallas, *vhich
they usually make in six hours, with
out stopping en route. Upon the
wings of the airplane is painted a
big “S” of the lazy type. This ranch
brand upon the airplane is easily dis
cerned, and all over west Texas the
machine is well known.
The Slaughters make practical use
of the airplane in many ways. If
an inspection of the cattle is desired
at any time it is quickly and easily
made. In locating scattered herds to
be rounded up for branding or vac
cination the airplane performs a val
uable and time-saving service.
Fann Shown by ’Plane
Finds Quick Buyer
Eric Brompton, Indian Springs,
Manitoba, wanted to buy a farm,
knew exactly what he -wanted and
had the collateral.
So he stepped into a Winnipeg
real estate office. ■*
“I have a farm I believe will just
suit you,” said the real estate man.
“Lies thirty-six miles west of city.
Fine farming country. Grain yield
big. Plenty of live stock. Great
dairying country.”
“Sounds good to hear you tell it,
replied Brompton. “But you’ve got
to show me. I must see the land.”
“Sure.” '
The real estate man clapped on his
hat and catching Brompton by the
arm. rushed him into the street
Brompton was nonplused. Either the
real estate man was crazy or he was
about to perpetrate some practical
joke. A few blocks away they came
to the aerodrome.
Thew stepped into an airplane.
The machine rose half a mile and set
a beeline course westward. In less
than twenty minues it came over
the farm.
From the flying car Brompton in
spected every corner and angle of
the land. When the airplane came
to earth the deal was closed across
a wing of the machine and the prop
erty was turned over to the pur
chaser.
This is said to be the first time a
farm has been sold by airplane.—St.
Paul Daily News.
Inherits $4,000,000

Clothes Burned,
But Saves Cigar
NEW YORK. —Fred D. Soper, of
1190 Dean street, Brooklyn, a retired
business man, was returning home
from a directors’ meeting when last
week’s Wall street explosion stunned
him. He groped his way across Wall
street and sat down on the Morgan
steps. His clothing was burned near
ly off. After his burns had been
dressed in Broad Street hospital he
sat up in bed and looked at the pile
of rags which had been his clothes.
The only thing not burned which
he had worn was a cigar case, and
in it he found one whole cigar.
“Guess that cigar deserves being
smoked,” the cheerful patient re
marked, and the nurses propped him
in bed while he smoked it.
Excitement Runs High
Till Dreaded Bomb
Turns Out Pickles
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—You wouldn’t
think a mother’s birthday present to
her son would affect a crowd of big,
strange policemen the way it- did
You wouldn’t, but here’s the story:
The son of a kindly woman who
lives “out in Northeast” is a resident
of Chicago, but she never forgets
her boy’s birthday. She made his
present ready yesterday, a favorite
delicacy of his—ten jars of finest
pickles, sweet, dill and sour.
The mother packed them carefully
in a wooden box, and took them to a
grocer friend, Lloyd F. Cochran,
whose store is at 2607 Independence
avenue. She asked that he ship thgrr?
for her. He obliged.
Mr. Cochran placed the box on a
showcase and turned back to a busi
ness conversation with James P. Fig
gins, salesman for Wilson & Co.
“By the way, will you ship that
box for me on your way in?” Coch
ran asked Figgins. “You will? Fine.”
To err is human and the grocery
boy was human. He put the box in
a second car in front of the store,
that of John J. Lewis, a salesman
for the National Candy company, who
also was transacting business with
Mr. Cochran.
Lewis left the store first. He be
held the strange box in his car.
Wall street—New York—bomb!”
were thoughts which had a head-on
collision in the mind of Mr. Lewis.
Lewis took his anxious seat beside
the thing, and proceeded to the city
hall.
“A bomb—outside—in my car,” he
gasped to patrolmen at police head
quarters.
Patrolmen, detectives and news
paper men trooped out. Lieutenant
Leo D. Mullin was accorded the priv
ilege of rank, and gingerly carried
the box in.
At once E. G. McGeary, informa
tion man, was paged. Nervously
thumbing the pages of his little
book of knowledge, he at last ar
rived at the chapter on "Bombs—
and What to Do With Them.” Mc-
Geary read:
“Dip it in water.”
They got a tub. Lieutenant Mul
lin immersed the zbox. Drawing a
deep breath, Lieutenant Mullin pried
off the lid. Then he exclaimed:
"Pickles!”
How Lieutenant Mullin solved the
case, how he and Mr. Cochran re
packed the box and rushed it to the
train, c.re concluding details. And
probably some day soon a son in Chi
cago will be sitting down to his din
ner, sinking his teeth in a succulent
dill and exclaiming:
“Ah, these pickles that mother
makes. You can’t beat them!”
Police Stage Battle
With Swarm of Bees
At City Residence
KANSAS CITY, Mo. —It' was the
cooling shade of large trees that
encompassed the inviting screens at
the home of Charles Wilson, 16
South Ferree street, Kansas Side,
that caused Queen Honey Bee and
her swarm to select the premises
as a resting place. They literally
covered several screens of the first
floor windows.
Mrs. Wilson, at work inside,
heard the strange hum and scream
ed. Seizing the telephone she call
ed police headquarters and Sergeant
William Evans received her excited
appeal. She described herself as
being a prisoner in her own house
surrounded bv bees. The sergeant
thought she said thieves. He rush
ed Stanley Beatty, secret service
utility man for the police depart
ment, to the scene.
When Beatty arrived to do battle
with the “thieves” he found Mrs.
Wilson pouring scalding water on
them h though the screens. Beatty
seized a mop and entered the en
gagement. For thirty minutes tne
battle raged, then the temperamen
tal queen, with a few angry darts
at her tormentors, led the swarm
buzzing fiercely, to safety in the
tree tops.
Still Is Discovered
When Home Burns Up
LEAVENWORTH, Kan. Fire
caused by an overheated whisky
still resulted in a damage of S6OO to
two Leavenworth homes today. When
the fire department was called one
of the houses was ablaze and before
the Are was under control sparks had
set fire to another dwelling near by.
Fire Chief Schroeder’s investiga

still concealed in a closet. The po
lice were notified. Besides the still
many bottles and jugs and ten gal
lons of sour mash were found. Neigh
bors said the owner of the still was
on a trip in the country. No ar
rests have been made.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1920.
Heads Will Fly
If Kaiser Returns
BERLIN. An extraordinary
declaration by former Emperor
William, made on the grounds of
his residence at Doorn, is reported
by Vorwaerts in a story purport
ing to emanate from a Prussian
junker, who recently visited him.
It is stated that the former
emperor was chopping a tree when
he suddenly exclaimed, as he
struck furious blows with his
axe: “This is the way heads will
fly to the right and left when I
return to Germany.”
VIOLENCE IS USED ~
BY ITALIANS
FACTORY FIGHT
ROME, Sept. 23.—Violence has en
tered the fight of Italian
control industrial plants.
Reports here today said a patrol
of royal guards in Turin was fired
upon. One guard was killed and sev
eral reported wounded. Three armed
men were arrested and a number of
suspects were imprisoned.
Every city in which labor seized
plants reported that referendums re
sulted in labor’s rejection of their
leaders’ agreement that factories
should be evacuated pending enact
ment of a national law providing for
partial labor control of industris.
In Turin a referendum resulted in
renewed seizures and the continued
occupation of the famous automo
bile factories of the Fiat, Dubest and
Lancia companies. It was reported
the Ansaldo aviation works were
seized, together with a number of
textile factories.
A report from Milan said a bomb
had been set off on the threshhold
of Angelo Zenere’s residence. Ze
nere is the proprietor of one of the
occupied plants, and has been a
leader in opposing the workmen's
program. Franchi Greporini, a man
ufacturer of Brescia, was punished
for refusing to advance 15,000 lire
for work done during occupation,
by seeing another of his plants
Metal workers in Savona flatly re
jected the proposal that they with
draw from factories there. Genoa
metal workers were reported to have
affiliated with the anarchist organiza
tion there and refused to recognize
the agreement with the government.
Reports from Stero and Sestri Po
nenti were that occupation will be
continued regardless of agreement
with Premier Giolitti.
The Socialist organ Avanti, fail
ing to see concessions of plant
owners as settlement of all labor
difficulties, says the success of work
ers in the present fight is the pre
lude of further agitation in the near
future.
Once Mexican Bandit,
Villa Decides to Be
Well-Equipped Farmer
When the Mexican government
promised Francisco Villa, the erst
while bandit-revolutionist, that it
Would set him up in the farming
business as one of the provisions of
the terms of his recent surrender, it
bound itself to a bigger proposi
tion that it probably thought of at
the time. Judging from the itemized
requisitionn for farm • machinery
and equipment which Villa has just
placed with the government he is
not going to be any piker tilling
the soil. Howeevr, much the big
order may have shocked the govern
ment officials in the city of Mexico
it met with the prompt approval of
President De la Huerta and it -was
immediately dispatched to Luis
Nobtes de Oca, Mexican consul at
El Paso, with instruction that every
item in it be filled and shipments of
same made as quickly as possible
to Villa at Canutillo, State of Du
rango, where the land granted him
by the government is situated.
Among the machinery and equip
ment which Villa asked of his gov
ernment are 800 double-row cultiva
tors, 200 breaking plows, harness for
1,600 mules, two modern threshing
machines, 50 harvesting machines,
30 mowing machines, 400 scythes, 40
scrappers, 300 axes, 2 large motor
trucks, 2 tractors, 50 harrows, 20
iron rollers, 2 ditch digging ma
chines, 5 gasoline engines, 6 irriga
tion pumping plants, 100 corn plan
ters and 60 wheat drills, the total
cost of which will run up into many
thousands of dollars.
According to Villa he will have
need for everything he has ordered
and it is said that the government
is perfectly willing to humor him in
his extensive farming for converting
the big tract of land the government
has given him into a modern farm.
He has already employed a large
number of his former followers and
comfortable homes will be built for
them and their families. Material
has been ordered for a modern
school building which will be erect
ed upon the farm. —Kansas City

Railroad Artillery
Bombards Sea Targets
ROCKPORT. Mas. —The bombard
ment of moving targets at sea from
an artillery train on the Rockport
branch of the Boston & Maine Rail
road furnished the summer colony
of the Massachusetts North Shore
with a novel spectacle and plenty
of noise during the first days of
this month.
Military experts were especially
interested in the demonstration, as
it was designed to show the feasi
bility of repelling an attack of war
vessels by means of railroad artil
lery. At a distance of thirteen miles
from shore targets towed by a tug
were a mark for the heavyg uns of
the 42d United States Coast artil
lery. The line towing the target
was a mile or more in length and
the batteries consisted of eight-inch
guns, four to a battery mounted on
specially constructed railroad cars.
Gypsies Use Wheels
To Sidestep Taxes
GUILDFORD, England.—A novel
way of avoiding the payment of lo
cal taxation has been discovered by
several large families of gypsies in
an encampment here. They own the
land and thus are liable to house
duty.
There is a regulation, however,
that if the wheels of a permanent
caravan home are turned completely
round once every year the owner is
absolved from duty. Consequently,
when the tax collecter calls at the
camp there is a general wheel turn
ing. Every caravan simultaneously
moves forward about two yards—
and the gypsies can live duty free
for another year.

Finger of Fireman
Stops Gas in Blaze
CLEVELAND. —Even as the little
Hollander saved his town from de
struction when he plugged up the
hole in the dike with his finger, so I
did Mark Boot’ a fireman, prevent I
probable loss of life and destruction
of property here ■when he plugged
up a hole in a gas pipe with his fin
ger until fellow wo.uers found him
blinded and fainting. Booth covered
the leak for forty-five minutes.
When his company responded to
an alarm of fire it found a large
store building burning fiercely and
the tenants of the upper apartment
in a panic. Occasional explosions of
gas shook the structure.
Booth found the leak and covered
the hole. Fellow firemen found him
leaning against the wall, knees sag
ging, verging on insensibility, but
his hand keeping the deadly vapor
from escaping.
